Christopher Flavin and Seth Dunn
International negotiations to protect the global climate could open huge markets for carbon-free energy. But U.S. renewable energy firms may miss out, unless they and their allies act now to shape American climate policy.

He is coauthor of Power Surge: Guide to the Coming Energy Revolution (New York: W.W.
